I think we've lost the thread on this one?

All the best for a cracker of a season. I expect a couple of belters between Leigh and Fax.

We are gonna need extra thick skins this season :)

Travelling around the internet visiting various social media sites and forums, I have come to the conclusion that more people than ever are outwardly pronouncing hatred for all things Leigh. I do not think this will change either regardless of how our season turns out in 2016. More people seem to want us to fail this year than last.

So what is it about LRLFC that people have taken such a massive dislike to. Some of what I read is not just your normal banter either. Is it our success? Is it the content of some of the interviews given or press releases sent out from club officials? Is it the fact we appear to have more money than others?

Or is it just the fact that the haters are just jealous Yorkshire folk. Strap yourselves in people because we are in for the same as last season if not more.


Ask the 50 or so Leigh fans who joined our Facebook page last season to tell us how good your are

Nothing to do with jealousy, for me it was your fans attitude especially after being all but saved by Gateshead,after this you would think you would be a bit more humble about things .But no, yet again splash the cash,comments like are Leigh still top etc,and then reveling in the other clubs perils.When haven had money issues and were rightly relegated ,yet again a lot of your fans took pleasure in it.We took our punishment unlike yourselves and fought our way back.I said at the time when the wheels fall off your band wagon agan because they would I'd back to remind you .At times it better to remember where you would have been had it not been for Gateshead ,so for me I'm laughing and will do so as more wheels fall off.

I dont ever recall any Leigh fan EVER celebrating another clubs financial difficulty, my God we have had our own share. Not sure what you are talking about here.

I think the hatred comes from the fact leigh think they deserve super league which they don't nobody does!
and the fact your players and fans are thugs!

We(Bulls) deserve to be in super league and super league needs us. Super league is a worse place without the Bulls

Please do tell me more about all this success that Leigh have had that makes all us Yorkshire folk so jealous? I've only been following the Championship for a year so I guess that I must have missed something?

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!

While I do not need to explain myself to a 'fan' who clearly thought SL was the be all and end all of the game of RL, I will, I like to educate the ignorant (about the Championship). When I mention the word success, I was meaning comparative success over the last 2/3 years. I appreciate that word and Bradford don't go together when talking of the last 3/4 years, but at least I knew what was going on in the game unlike you. I know for example how a stream of owners almost destroyed the Bulls AND even ripped their own fans off to the tune of half a million pounds (I think). I was suggesting several reasons for the purposes of a discussion. I clearly forgot one, - 'is it because they don't know who we are' - (RL does exist outside of SL) as you have now found out.
